Scotland's first-ever tequila and mezcal festival is making a triumphant return to Glasgow! Get ready for a day filled with agave-based spirits, delicious cocktails, and a vibrant atmosphere. This festival promises to be even better than the last, so mark your calendars for Saturday, April 27.
Organized by industry professionals Joanna Nethery, Colin Campbell, Calum Cunneen, and Adam Murphy, Copita is all about providing a fun and immersive experience. Whether you're a tequila and mezcal enthusiast or just curious to learn more, this festival is the perfect opportunity to explore and indulge.
Joanna Nethery, owner of Five March, has a deep-rooted love for agave-based spirits, thanks to her years living in Mexico. Colin Campbell, owner of Sylvan, recognizes the craftsmanship and heritage behind these spirits, drawing parallels with whisky production. Together, they have created an event that celebrates the rich cultural importance of tequila and mezcal.
Discover the World of Tequila and Mezcal
If you're new to the world of tequila and mezcal, this festival is the perfect opportunity to learn and explore. With a ticket priced at £35, you'll have the chance to sample up to 80 different agave-based spirits, guided by knowledgeable brand ambassadors. From the smoky notes of mezcal to the smooth flavors of tequila, you'll discover a whole new world of taste.
But it's not just about the tastings. Glasgow's top mixologists will be creating bespoke cocktails for you to enjoy, perfectly complemented by delicious tacos from Rafas. The festival offers a sensory experience like no other, where you can savor the flavors, mingle with like-minded people, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere.
Immerse Yourself in the Festival Experience
What sets Copita apart is its dedication to creating an unforgettable experience. Last year, festival-goers arrived dressed normally but left with a newfound love for tequila and mezcal, and maybe even a bottle or two. The festival not only offers a chance to indulge in these spirits but also an opportunity to invest in occasion wear from the Cow People of the Barras Market, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
For those who want to delve deeper, the festival will also feature in-depth masterclasses hosted by industry experts. Learn about the production processes, the history, and the stories behind your favorite spirits. The full program will be released closer to the event date, so keep an eye out for the exciting lineup of classes.
Why Glasgow is the Perfect Location
Glasgow, with its vibrant social scene and bustling calendar of events, is the perfect city to host Scotland's tequila and mezcal festival. Copita aims to contribute to the city's thriving hospitality scene and provide unique experiences for residents and visitors alike.
Colin Campbell believes that Glasgow deserves events like Copita, and he's determined to make it a success. In fact, the team has plans to expand to Manchester and potentially organize another drinks event in Glasgow over the summer. Their goal is to showcase the incredible world of tequila and mezcal while ensuring fair compensation and well-being for everyone involved.
